Subject: Great episode

This episode was fascinating, lots of insight into the attitude c. 1985 re. home networking. "Most home users don't need a LAN".
And in the Random Access segment we see an early "version" of Google Maps and a reviewer who is amazed at the concept of shareware!
Oh and whatever happened to the Coke machines mentioned that have games, and remind you to take your change?
